German Export Cabbage. 



During the past few years we have had numerous 

 reqtiests from market gardeners and cabbage growers for 

 the seed of the imported German Cabbage so frequently 

 seen on our markets late in the season, and which, owing 

 to its great solidity and handsome appearanre, sells at 

 higher prices than American sorts. AVe succeeded last 

 season in obtaining a quantity of this seed from a reliable 

 German grower, which was distributed for trial among 

 our customers. All reports thus far received pronounce 

 it one of the finest main crop and printer cabbages 

 they have ever grown, and notwithstanding its foreign 

 origin, has succeeded in all sections of the United States.

R FHLU Tl^Iflli I^EPOI^TS. 



"Your German Export Cabbage is a great success 

 here: all headed and very fine." — G. Y. Goodale, War- 

 saw, N. Y. 



"Your German Export is decidedly the cabbage. 

 From the seed you sent me I set 22,000 plants, every one 

 making a head of cabbage hard as stone. My field is the 

 talk of all neighboring gardeners."— John B. Smith, Mid- 

 dleburg, Ohio. 



" Xew German Export Cabbage, planted along with 

 seven other varieties, proved superior to them all. It is 

 a splendid grower and absolutely sure and hard header, 

 and in qualitv it excels all others."— Jonas Pasour, Dal- 

 las, N. C. 



AUTUMN KING. A new strain of late cabbage 

 which is highly spoken of by all market and family gar- 

 deners who have thus far tested it. The heads are of 

 enormous size and very solid. It has few outer leaves, 

 and owing to this fact it is claimed that Autumn King 

 ■will produce a greater weight of crop from the same 

 space of ground than anv other late cabbage. Pkt., lOc; 

 oz., 30c.; 2 oz., 50c.; J4 lb., 80c.; lb.,S2.75; 2 lbs., S5.00. 



NEW DIA3IOND 'WINTEK. In this fine new cabbage we have a strain entirely distinct from any other 

 It is a cross between .Short Stem Drumhead and Danish Round Winter. It grows very compact, the stem is short, 

 and it can be planted closer together than any other late variety. The heads will average from fifteen to eighteen 

 pounds in weight after they are trimmed for market; they grow %-ery uniform in size and shape, and present a handsome 

 appeai-ance. They are extra hard, solid, round and somewhat flattened on top; possess a fine, small rib, are always 

 of the finest possible quality and sure header. Pkt., lOc; oz., 40c.; ^4 lb., Sl.25 ; lb., S4.00.

When we introduced our famous Matchless Late Flat Dutch Cabhage, a few years since, we 

 thought perfection had been reached in late or winter cabbages. Not until our attention was called to 

 this sort, three years since, did we find one that would at all compete with it. In the New Roclc 

 Head, however, we believe it has a successful rival. It is of enormous size, perfect shape, and combines 

 all those qualities so desirable to an experienced gardener to render a late cabbage perfect in every 

 respect, viz. : size, weight, quality, sure heading:, and a long- keeper. This cabbage was sold 

 in Philadelphia markets in Januar}-, 1S93, at more than double the price of any other sort. Pkt., 

 15c.; oz., 40c.; 2 oz., 75c.; j4 lb., $1.25 ; lb., $4.00. From growers of this cabbage we have enough such 

 testimonials as those published below to fill every page of this book. 



THERE HAS BEEN BUT ONE VERDICT FROM ALL: 



Rockhead, the largest, heaviest and most solid cabbage ever grown. 



" Rock Head has produced the only cabbage we have, the 

 severe drought destroyed all others; notwithstanding this 

 the Rock Head is magnificent in large solid heads and fully 

 merits the name given it.'' — Frisey Smith, Sharpsburg, Md. 



" I gave your Rock Head Cabbage a thorough trial and 

 found them the very best I ever raised; they are very firm 

 and solid and in every respect superior to all other cab- 

 bages." — Jos. H. PODGET, Bryantown, Md. 



"lam much pleased with the Rock Head Cabbage: no 

 other variety ever grown by me has given such satisfactoiV 

 results." — T. E. Kelly, Grove, Md. 



"Your New Rock Head Cabbage is the finest I ever saw. 

 Every plant has made a large solid head. I am sure that 1 

 will have some that will, weigh fifty pounds and over." — 

 Joseph Beck, New Bridge, Oregon. 



" Your New Rook Head flourished wonderfully in spite 

 of all drawbacks. It entirely escaped the worms, which de- 

 stroyed all nay other varieties. Every plant formed a large 

 solid head, and it is by far the largest, best and hardiest cab- 

 bage I ever saw." — Henry LrEBBEN, Brighton, 111. 



" Your New Rock Head was the first cabbage In my fields 

 to form heads fit for use, in spite of the fact that the plants, 

 were set out about a week later than the rest of the field 

 which contained Surehead, Autumn King and several other 

 good sorts. Rock Head beats them all in heading and fine 

 quality. Next year I shall plant a large patch of them."— 

 J. J. Kleine. IMorristown, N. J. 



" Had I not have grown Rock Head I would have no 

 cabbage, as the other five kinds I planted all rotted, but 

 this new sort flourished and grew into finest solid heads of a 

 larger size than I ever saw. There will be no other kind 

 planted here this year." — S. S. NicKLE, Harshaville, Iowa. 



"I gave the new cabbage Rock Head a fair trial side by 

 side with several other noted varieties and find it way ahead 

 of all others in everj- respect. They are wonderfully rapid 

 growers." — B. Shotjrds, Hammonton. N. J. 



"Your new cablwge No. 31 (Rock Head) leads all other 

 varieties. An important thing in its favor is that the worms 

 do not seem to trouble it as they do all others." — R. T. 

 Kaighn, Ellisburg, N. J.
